Keep Calm & Escape To Kerala

My trip to Kerala was amazing, out of this world, breathtaking and memorable. I visited their with my family last year and really had a very good time. Motto for Kerala, “God’s Own Country,” refers to the rich heritage, lively culture, and positive socio-political climate. And yes Keralites… Just can’t stop thinking about the beautiful smiles and curious looks. Keralites are very hospitable, pleasant and respectful people. Perhaps because they enjoy a higher standard of living and level of education than the rest of India – literacy rate in the state is nearly 100%. Based on my experience and those of others, here are my top suggestions for a trip to Kerala-

1. Lighthouse Beach

I simply loved this beach. Lighthouse beach has a very wide sandy span. The depth of sea is very shallow and gradually increases to a deeper level after going quite a distant in. Beach is full of shops, hotels and restaurants. A must visit if you love beaches. This beach is best of all the beaches in Kovalam.

2. Marari Beach

It is a perfect Beach for every traveller who look for a silent calm time to spend. Just drink coconut water and enjoy your peaceful time. This beach is definitely less crowded then other beaches in Kerala.

3. Kerala Backwaters

A trip to Kerala is incomplete if you missed visiting this place. Enjoy long boat journey and simply you will fall in love with this place:) This place is amazing for those who love nature and need to recharge and relax. The views are stunning and the soothing backwaters will ensure you immediately disconnect. This experience was something which I will cherish for my entire life. You can also prebook houseboat if you are going in group.

4. Tea Gardens

So I went to “Munnar”- Hill station near kerala and on my way to that place i visited few tea gardens and actually felt awesome because the smell was so catchy….Tea gardens make a beautiful backdrop for photographs. Hundreds of movies shoots are taken from this place. In short “Green everywhere”

5. Athirapally Falls

Excellent gift of nature. It is the place where Bahubali movie was shot… Remember?? Must visit place for nature lovers and others likewise.To enjoy the full view of the waterfalls you need to go down the hill and is totally worth the walk. Once you reach the bottom, you can see the breath taking view of the waterfalls 🙂
